Portrait photography focuses on displaying the subject's expression, personality, and mood. It usually features the face as the main subject, but can also include the entire body and background context. Jimmy Nelsson takes portraits showing people's personalities and where they come from through subtle cues in their photos. Christopher J creates surreal portraits that appear realistic through extensive editing, often featuring men with enhanced abilities against gloomy backgrounds. Landscape photographer Adam Burton specializes in landscapes from five continents, particularly the UK, often capturing early morning light through natural illumination.

1. Portraitphotography or portraiture: is photography of a person or
group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the

the person's face, although the entire body and the background or context
may be included.

innocence, purity and simplicity; his face is abled to back up all of them because
he seems like a happy person good at heart but hasn’t had an easy life. He looks
like he’s in his 40s due to the wrinkles. the rule of thirds apply for this image and
